Review: Halle Berry's 'Moonfall' combines sci-fi, disasters and action for big, dumb fun

"Moonfall" is not a movie. It's every movie.

A conspiracy thriller/alien invasion/monster/disaster/science fiction/romance, this cinematic casserole is frequently ridiculous and improbably entertaining. Halle Berry stars as the acting head of NASA, who's informed that the moon's orbit has shifted and it will collide with Earth in three weeks.

Because the world coming to an end is not enough to have on her plate, she has a kid to save, too. So she enlists a renegade ex-astronaut who also has a kid to save (Patrick Wilson) and a not-as-wacky-as-he-seems nerd with no kid to save (John Bradley) to rocket into space and do something about that ol' devil moon.
